      <td style="vertical-align: top;">JS mentioned that an opportunity
had arisen to present Velocityme as a potential solution for Granger
Bay and other small installations. A problem identified was the lack of
infrastructure. A proposed solution was to run JBoss as a service on
the particular individual's PC. This would provide a single user
configuration of Velocityme. Questions still arose as to what database
would be most suitable. Options are:<br>
      <ul>
        <li>Access</li>
        <li>Hypersonic - BR to investigate future migration options</li>
        <li>mysql - they would have to install it themselves</li>
        <li>postgresql for windows - RC to investigate<br>
        </li>

    <tr>
      <td style="vertical-align: top;">5.2<br>
      </td>
      <td style="vertical-align: top;">A discussion followed about how
best to make Velocityme suitable for new users as it is deemed to be a
bit complicated. It was decided that the solution was not to make a new
product but that Velocityme could be generally improved by adding some
new features to make use easier:<br>
      <ul>
        <li>Batch creation process instead of creating multiple tasks
individually</li>
        <li>LDAP synchronisation - this is probably more important for
larger organisations and hence not an immediate requirement (more long
term)</li>
        <li>BR suggested a My Favourite Tasks facility</li>
        <li>RC suggested direct links to edit tasks from the search
summary. Note that this could be extended to post comments and change
state etc etc. A compact representation would use icons instead of text.</li>
        <li>Add a rapid task ID search facility available on every page</li>
        <li>Menu/toolbar synchronisation and toolbar customisation</li>
        <li>Tabs for different data types, eg Projects, Contacts,
Setup. Different search hot links could be available on the different
tabs, eg Person name search under Contacts, ID search under Projects.<br>
        </li>

SA and as a result pursueing this as an opportunity to market
Velocityme is unlikely to bear fruit. Based on outcome of decision
taken at SPIN meeting in November which encouraged government to
support product development rather than outsourcing.<br>
